Well, there's no "fix" for the X screen being bigger than the TV
screen's visible area because that's teh way it's supposed to be. The TV
is meant to be used as such, to watch video content. That's what the
pvr350 is optimised for. That's called overscan. The tv picture is
larger than the screen to cut of a portion of the picture which might be
distorted, carry close dcaption information etc. and avoid black frames
around the picture.
The "fix" is to set the gui size to some smaller size and recenter on
the visible area. Look at my sig. In the walkthrough you'll find
something about it somewhere at the end.
Please don't try to readjust the modelines or such. That'l fix the
screen bigger than visible area problem but at the cost of having no
picture at all :-)
